    Technically the moon bucees board would need a light up sign that updates frequently as its distance from the moon would vary.

    The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of approximately 238,855 miles (384,400 km), ranging from about 225,623 miles (363,104 km) at its closest point (perigee) to 252,088 miles (405,696 km) at its farthest point (apogee).

    And if you don’t think it’s a big deal try bringing enough food to get to a destination 225k miles away and finding out that it’s actually 252k miles away and you’re going to starve. Unless you find the waffle house of course.

    If they just wait a moment, I’m sure there’s a Waffle House around the corner. “I got teleported to a Waffle House on the moon!” wrote one bugged out reviewer.
